Always have… However… that doesn’t prevent me from being able to appreciate the elegance of an equation. Or, the creativity of applying equations to relate a story. The marketing agency Revolve has taken this approach to bring awareness to Brain Candy Toys, and education toy and teacher resource distributor. I can’t wait to […]

Many people accumulate books that they will never read, either from a misplaced sense of ambition, or for the mere fact that the book is more decoration than occupation.
